WAREHAM — A local woman is facing charges of cocaine trafficking and conspiracy to violate drug laws after she was arrested during a motor vehicle stop this week on Marion Road, police said.

After a two-month investigation by Wareham Police detectives and the South Coast Anti-Crime Unit at the Bristol County House of Correction regarding the distribution of cocaine in the Wareham area, police say Shannon Bradbury, 27, of Wareham was arrested during a motor vehicle stop about 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Bradbury had 33 grams of cocaine and a Percocet pill in her possession at the time of the motor vehicle stop, according to a news release from Wareham Police Public Information Officer Lt. Kevin Walsh.

Walsh said Bradbury had been under investigation for suspicion of transporting cocaine into the Wareham area to her apartment, No. 70 at the Woods at Wareham complex, which is located less than a mile from where the motor vehicle stop occurred.

Police obtained a search warrant for Bradbury’s vehicle, her apartment, and a storage unit in Middleboro, Walsh said. During the search of her apartment, police found an additional 14 grams of cocaine, $600, a digital scale and corner-cut plastic bags. There was no evidence located at the storage unit in Middleboro.

Walsh said Bradbury was charged with trafficking cocaine over 36 grams, conspiracy to violate drug laws and possession of a class B Substance (opiates). She was scheduled to be arraigned today at in Wareham 4th District Court, according to police.
